I've had some upsetting experiences at other piercers, and I knew from my previous tattoo experiences here that it would be the perfect place to get a piercing.

My friends have also gone here before and all of our tattoos and piercings have healed amazingly. Pricing is available on the website is very reasonable, and included the price of the starter jewelry pictured here (each lobe is $20, daith is $40).

Kristen not only helped but got super excited about the piece which was very meaningful to me. She's great to work with and I now call her a friend. One thing about the place is that she has random visitors drop by to say hi. Which goes to show how many wonderful people she has around her. You will have to allow for a pause now and then on your tattoo but she makes it worth it. I highly recommend this place for your next tattoo. she gets booked up quickly but it's worth the wait to have the best in town work on you.

I've been going to Dell for years--since I was 12 years old. Unfortunately, after my recent…read moreexperience, I won't be returning. About a month ago I got a dermal piercing. This past Tuesday, the top fell off while I was cleaning it with a Q-tip. I called immediately, and the receptionist told me she would message me if an opening became available. I never heard back. I went to another piercer in Montpelier to see if they could help, but they couldn't. After waiting three days with no response from Angelina's Rose, I called again and explained that another piercer had told me it would likely be too late to save the piercing if it healed over. Instead of being seen promptly, I was offered an appointment a week later--even though by then the piercing would likely have closed, leaving surgical removal as my only option. I explained that if there were no appointments available, I was willing to come in and wait for an opening. I was finally told there was time to come in today at 10:00 a.m. When I arrived, the first thing Dell said was that I must have been touching the piercing because he "screws them on really tight." I tried to explain that it happened while I was cleaning it, but he interrupted me and said he already knew what I was going to say and that I must have been playing with it because "there's no other way" and that this had never happened to anyone else. The conversation quickly became unprofessional. He called me entitled because of the way I spoke to the receptionist. While I admit I was frustrated, I was not yelling, swearing, or being disrespectful--I was simply trying to get help before my piercing closed. I then asked why I had been told to come in at 10:00 a.m. if he had already decided he wasn't going to help me. He could have told me that over the phone and saved me the trip. His response was that when he has "shit to talk about someone," he says it to their face. I found that response incredibly unprofessional. He then told me I was no longer welcome at the shop, called me disrespectful, and refused to help me. As a result, my dermal will now likely need to be surgically removed. I also brought up that I didn't feel the receptionist had treated me kindly. Dell told me they had cameras and had reviewed the conversation, insisting she had done nothing wrong. I got the impression they were backing each other up rather than listening to my concerns, so I didn't feel like I was being heard. I told him I was glad there were cameras because I know I remained calm and never yelled or acted aggressively. To make matters worse, this isn't the first issue I've had. He pierced my second nostril crooked the first time, and I had to pay to have it repierced, even though the mistake wasn't mine. I'm incredibly disappointed with how I was treated. I've been a loyal customer for years, and I expected much better communication, professionalism, and customer service. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this shop.

So many bad experiences with this shop, the folks are personable for the most part but when it…read morecomes to tattooing, I'm not sure how it's possible to have the outcome with them so many times that I have. The last appointment I had with Tony he ended an hour early for no reason and left the horrible mandala tattoo cover up just how it is now. He pressured me to start that day after the stencil he drew was nothing near the reference photo I gave and he got really mad and said if he draws it again and I don't like it he's not tattooing me today. This was in talks way in advance so there's no reason he should have been doing stencil same day, nor speaking to a client that way. I should have never returned for more ink because this is the mess I was left with. Absolutely wreckages they gave me not art. On your skin forever, make a better choice. Instead of doing the right thing and trying to fix anything they put a restraining order on me after I went in and asked for the paper you sign before being tattooed and Ericka asked if I was going to try and sue Tony. Because, she knew he left me with these horrible quality tattoos that are hard to cover and did not work with me whatsoever to fix what he did. Ericka did the vampire bat and it turned out horrible as you see. I was supposed to have an appt for her to fix it but that was nyxed when Tony decided he got himself too far in deep giving me bad ink that he wouldn't fix it. Tony should have a high level of experience and does. But obviously lacks in many categories. The lines above the crest moon (chest tattoo) I kept asking him to straighten the lines and they kept ending up how they are now so eventually I just said that's fine- The alchemy tattoo was done twice and is still not solid. Really- choose a better shop and don't end up in this position.

Isaac & Tim are the two artists I encounter most often. Both of them have very unique styles and both are worth giving a visit if you want some ink or some ideas brought to life. Out of all my friends tattoos and my tattoos I've gotten from Isaac & Tim, I didn't need a visit for any touch ups. Even though customers get free touch ups for life. There are two other artists here as well, Amanda and Tyre. I guess Tyre runs the shop, I've never met him but I've seen some of his work and it's amazing. I've also had the opportunity to see Amandas work and it's also a very unique style. Each of the artists I've encountered have been really awesome, easy to approach and very professional with their equipment. I've healed every time without a hitch and they are extremely sterile with every process. I highly recommend this parlor to anyone.

But it took almost an hour of arguing and fixing it to how I had already asked in the initial booking email to get to that point. I do not recommend going to Aartistic Inc in Winooski. I thought I was going to a tattoo ARTIST that would at least take the 2 seconds to read what his client wanted, not a tattoo copyist who just wanted to copy paste someone else's tattoo. I sent multiple reference photos (3) and explained what I wanted out of each photo prior to being booked, but when we arrived he basically was like "just pick one of the references and I'll copy it exactly". He even used the words "I'm not interested." I would have walked out if I didn't really want to get a tattoo on that exact day (our 11 year anniversary). Even with copying, he couldn't even at least be bothered to move one of the parts to the spot I had asked. (The sword being through the crown instead of the crown being above it) Until after being rude about it and me having to point it out in the email in front of his face that I in fact, did ask for that. He had papers printed of the wrong thing, I asked why they were like that and he had an attitude and was like "because that's how YOU asked for them" I just said "uh, no." And he went and pulled up my emails on a big tv screen and still tried to argue with me by pointing to my references I sent. I literally walked up to the screen and read off what I had asked for while pointing to it with my finger. He STILL CONTINUED to argued it because I sent the reference pictures and he "just goes by what picture I send". I said "well I didn't know you were just going to not read my email and just copy a reference image exactly." He said "that's what we do here." lol ok then say that and deny the booking, don't accept custom work if you don't do that. As soon as we walked in the door he had an attitude and was acting like we were a bother to him. Next time don't accept work if you don't want to do it? Every other tattoo I have I didn't have this experience. My thigh tattoo, the artist spent 5 hours drawing for me before tattooing it. And this dude couldn't even be bothered to read one sentence and copy paste one part.

So I walked to this place that was open, it was weird a lot of tattoo shops closes early, so I found this place, the staff was awesome!! I wanted a basic tattoo and got a butterfly, always wanted a butterfly, love butterflies the woman at the front desk was pretty cool and helped me pick the right one (yes there are many different butterflies) and also had to find the perfect size for where I wanted it, I didn't want it too big or small. The guy who did mine was pretty cool as well, very patient when I was telling him where I wanted it. It didn't take long to do, actually fell asleep, and it turned out beautifully. The outlines of the butterfly was pretty badass. Loved it. If anyone is looking for a place to get a tattoo here around Burlington, I would definitely go here. Vibes are amazing here as well. They do a lot of amazing work. I get compliments everyday at work of my tattoo as well.
